Get Out: Parties, Playland and Pig Roasts

Have no idea what you're doing this weekend? 

Scarsdale Patch is coming to the rescue. We’ve got the best bets for your done-work-outta-here time. Check our picks for the activities to hit and new bars/restaurants/shops to explore.

The “Get Out” planner appears just in time for you to take a brief end-of-the-week breather and start thinking ahead towards the upcoming weekend. The planner will include local, low-cost activities, along with the occasional far-flung, pricier, but oh-so-worth it city sojourn.

Help Scarsdale Patch with the weekly planner by e-mailing kirstin.fawcett@patch.com, or by leaving your own suggestions or tips in the comment box. Is your business planning a Spring Fling family festival? Does a local museum hold educational reenactments that will transform even the most ardent World of Warcraft tot into a budding Revolutionary War scholar? We want to hear from you!
